It was bound to happen anyway. After all, thats why we're here, on the other side of the world, really. Now I feel pressured and tired at the same time. I would have kept going if it weren't for the fact that stores close early, and we still have to find someplace (cheap) to eat.
What also stopped me from working furiously the whole day is the presence of this trivial little software they have installed at Delta. Every so often, you'd have a window popping up which won't allow you to access other windows, programs..anything. Apparently, it's required by law that people who work with computers have to stop for a few minutes.
There are two types of windows actually, the micropauze window which requires you to rest for around a minute, I think. And then there's the rustpauze which stops you for 10 minutes. They tell me its suppose to suggest the exercises that the user should do, but then since everything is in Dutch, I have no idea where the exercise instructions are.

The thing is, we've heard it all before. Carpal tunnel syndrome, poor eyesight, wrist and mouse-arm problems. But only here will they pass a real law about it. I suppose the Dutch are prone to overworking? I wouldn't say the same thing for us back home. After all, breakfast is only a few hours after lunch, merienda is just around the time when you don't want to work anymore, and dinner would be a few hours later.
Not to forget the occassional dalaw at pangungulit sa ibang tao. And email. And chat.
Of course there is the ignore button (Negeer)...but then if its already there anyway, why ignore it. :p

DUDE, I did not know such a software exists! Maybe you should ask bart to translate some of the exercises...hehehe.
I would kill to have that in the Philippines and in Japan! Damn the Dutch think about everything...hahaha!
